Thanks to Feiwel & Friends and NetGalley for an advanced copy of The Dos and Donuts of Love by Adiba Jaigirdar to review! A baking competition themed romance is exactly what I needed right now. And yet another great summer read!

First of all, I absolutely loved all of the baking puns at the beginning of each chapter. Not only do they reflect what’s happening in the story, but they also just make reading the book a fun experience. Because who doesn’t like baking puns, honestly?

As a fan of baking shows, I knew that I was probably going to love this. You get to see a lot of the competition in the book, and while some of it isn’t quite believable, it was still so much fun to read. Seeing what Shireen comes up with, applying it to her culture. And she gets to make donuts for her family’s shop as well! 

The side characters were pretty well developed, as well as Shireen, making a full cast that fleshes out the story. Warning: if you’re a baker, you’ll probably want to bake once you’re done reading this!

If you like ex-lovers to lovers romances with a side of baking, you’ll definitely love this book when it comes out next month.
